No one has proposed Q reduction Of the
average duty below the rate fixed in the pro-
,~tecttye tariff of 1852. The MoaaIsoN bill of
last winter would not have exceeded the 20
per cent. reduction promisedi but not &C.
corded by the Republicans in 1888.
More than 80 per cent. Of the present tariff
Ii composed of wal taxes, put on as "com-
pensating duties" for internal revenue taxes
long since repealed. Mr.. MORRILL,, the spon-
sor OF the present system, said In Congress,
as long ago as 1870. that this increase should
mot be retained as "the lawful prize of pro-
lection"
1t is not protection but robbery that il re-
sisted.
